Occupy Protesters Heckle Gingrich in Iowa 
------------------------------------------



Newly resurgent Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich was
demonstrated against on Wednesday during a speech at the University of
Iowa. A protester led the crowd in an Occupy Wall Street-style "mic
check." With the Iowa caucuses three weeks away, Gingrich is holding a
lead over Mitt Romney in national polls for the Republican nomination.

Protesters: "Mr. Gingrich, we are here to protest your speech today...
We object to your callous and arrogant attitude toward poverty and poor
people."
